When stereotyping is active amongst groups in society there aren’t too many positive aspects that would be able to be explored. There are many negatives that can be taken away when people begin to stereotype others, without truly understanding or knowing who they really are. When people are stereotyped they are considered to be exactly the same as the rest, regardless of the facts of who they really are. Stereotyping alone has the ability to separate society as a whole and will most likely lead to all different types of people always staying on their toes and staying conscious and concerned about what other people may think of them and may lead to those people always staying closed off instead of open and allowing people to get to know and truly understand them.

As a society as a whole, it is hard for people to get to know each other when they are constantly being judged and constantly being looked at in certain ways instead of others allowing them the opportunity to get to know them and understand them. I’m sure that everyone has been open to understanding what exact stereotypes of certain people are and they have most likely also been stereotyped themselves. It wouldn’t be considered fair if people were constantly compared to stereotypes and treated as if they were the main reason why stereotypes existed today. Once stereotypes are introduced to one single person, only more bad things will continue to occur and society will ultimately pay the price.

Stereotyping people single handedly has the ability to separate society as a whole. Once stereotypes begin to take over the way that people both think and talk about others, there is almost no possible ways for people to overcome those stereotypes and the way that people will automatically view them. It is important that people understand and have the ability to put themselves in the shoes of other people when it comes to certain aspects such as stereotyping, to understand what it would be like to be...

...Effects of Stereotyping
Living in America we deal with a lot of diversity, especially those in the criminal justice field where situations caused by religion can lead to a problem. Stereotypes are ideas held by some individuals about members of particular groups, based solely on membership in that group. Stereotyping is one of the biggest problems that we deal with, particularly in law enforcement. Stereotype threat can result in a self-fulfilling insight whereby a person comes to resemble his or her reputation, living up or down to social expectations.
Over the years there have been many allegations of police officers accused of going after individuals and accusing them of a crime based on the sole fact of what their religious beliefs might be. This has been going on for a long time; however in recent years, it has gotten worse. The main job of police officers is to uphold the law, not to break it. Although stereotyping is not against the law, police officers have taken an oath to protect all human beings, regardless of their race or religion and stereotyping based on religion should not take place. Just because an individual is of a certain race does not give us the right to stereotype them as a bad human being. Thus stereotyping one’s religious beliefs is wrong, and it goes against what America is all about, that everyone is equal.
According to Fred Edmund Jandt (2003), the word...

...12-year-old Gabrielle Molina was found dead Wednesday afternoon by her family (Boyette, 2013).. In September 2012, 15-year-old Audrie Pott was sexually assaulted by three boys, who later posted pictures of the attack online- leading to her suicide (Giammona, 2013); both of these suicides caused by cyber-bullying, which is common among teens. A study in Britain revealed that at least half of suicides among young people are associated with bullying ("Bullying Statistics", 2009). Though social networking has many positive effects in society, it has more negative consequences, especially upon teenagers, such as cyber-bullying, negative influences on social behavior, and the promotions of crime and violence. When used responsibly, social networking is efficient, fun, and useful. Unfortunately, teenagers in today’s society misuse social networks- causing social networking become dangerous and psychologically harmful.
Cyber-bullying is the most common negativeeffect of social networking. More than one in three teens has experienced cyber-threats online according to a study done by The "Bullying Statistics" (2009). According to psychologist Anthony Pellegrini, Bullying is a precise method of aggression and one that is used intentionally to secure resources such as friends, self-esteem, and self-worth. About one in five teens have posted or sent sexually suggestive or nude pictures of themselves to others....

...what we see as technology. Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, methods of organization; in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments.[2]
Technological advancement is responsible for many changes as well in world population, life expectancy, education levels, material standards of living, and the nature of work, communication, healthcare, war, and the effects of human activities on the natural environment. Not just these conditions are affected, but also our society and our individual selves.[3]

...*AMERICAN TELEVISION*’S NEGATIVE* EFF*ECTS ON *RACIAL *STEREOTYPING BACKGROUND _American TV exposure: statistics/portrayals/common stereotypes found_ This section covers general TV exposure that Americans witness on a daily basis. It provides a feel for how stereotypes have a direct effect on real life theoretically. It will show a connection to what content American TV viewers are subjected to and how it can become a part of their mindsets towards other races. _Theories involved and the evidence they provide_ Counter evidence and theories involved Conclusion This has vast importance in society on many levels. If media uses its control of stereotypes through television and news in a negative fashion, there could a dramatic increase in negative racial stereotypes. These stereotypes can then be translated into prejudice, which can then become discrimination. The world needs no more discrimination and prejudice than it already contains. As stated before, they lead to diminishing the basic human rights created for the well being of the people. Future research needs to continue to work on this area of sociology by using larger sample sizes to further clarify results and understand the development of stereotypes (Dong and Murillo 2007). With small sample sizes, research cannot be as effective in correlating the results to actual facts. Research also needs to delve into the factor of triggering racial...

...Because of the negativeeffects of casinos, the government should ban them from populated areas in the United States. Gambling is a growing addiction in America, and casinos will only provide residing citizens with a larger opportunity to progress in their gambling addictions and allow room for others to gain the ensnaring addiction. Gambling addiction is also called compulsive gambling or pathological gambling. It also is said to be a disease, like its neighboring addiction/sickness, alcoholism. As stated in the “Harvard Mental Health Letter, pathological gambling has 10 symptoms, which include :“preoccupation with gambling, gambling with increased amounts of money, returns to gambling after losing money in order to recover the losses, and asking others for money to solve financial problems caused by gambling.” According to clearleadinc.com, “about 2.5 million adults in America are pathological gamblers and another 3 million of them should be considered problem gamblers, 15 million adults are at a risk for problem gambling and about 148 million are low-risk gamblers.” There were many sociological and psychological tests done on the subject of casinos and gambling addictions; these tests support my final thought and opinion, that casinos will do more harm than help; although, I will show both views. They will cause many problems and may even cause a domino effect starting with personal problems, than expanding to sociological...

...ads prove that there are many forms of advertising without any morals, and that companies will go to great lengths to have their name and image promoted regardless of the results. The nation's companies have put themselves before the children.
Visual product promotions may not only corrupt viewers, they may also be financially destructive to the communities surrounding them. A billboard can negatively impact the visual character of the area as well as financially lower the surrounding property values. Local economies don't suffer when communities control billboards. "A study in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania found that property values rose as much as two hundred fifty five percent after the removal of nearby billboards" ("Scenic America" 3). Negative aspects of billboards greatly outway the very few, positive, economic upturns a sign may provide. Billboards may advertise products from television companies to tacos. A sign that fufills its purpose may only provide an increase in profit for one individual business, but in turn will cause a much greater loss in local property values and visual pollution. Visual pollution is the obstructing presence of objects that do not compliment their surroundings. These include stratigically placed advertisements on roads and highways that hinder the aesthetic beauty of consistent, natural surroundings. "I do not think the short term gain such signs would bring to my business are worth the permanent degradation to our scenic...

...NegativeEffects of Television on Children
In recent times, the mass media such as newspaper, film, radio, television and internet are the principal way to receive information. Television is the most popular medium in which the children are exposed. It has the ability to entertain and educate. Statistics show that children who spend 1500 hours a week watching television get negativeeffects, in different aspects, such as physical, cognitive, emotional, and social.
First of all, children need to be physically well. They must exercise, as walking, playing ball, and joining sports, but television is a sedentary activity. If they spend long time in front of television, and don't exercise their bodies, there will be problems of obesity. They need healthy food too. Most of the children like eating junk food, such as candy bars, potato chips, and all that kind of stuff while they watch television. They don't like to eat healthy food like fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, chicken, fish, etc. A Scientific American article entitled "Television Addiction" says, "Television can also contribute to childhood obesity by aggressively marketing junk food to young audiences". The same article says, "According to the Canadian Pediatric Society, most food advertising on Children's TV shows is for fast foods, candy and pre-sweetened cereals."
In relation with the negativeseffects in cognitive,...
